The SI unit of specific absorption rate (SAR) in W/kg in the electromagnetic (EM) field as non-ionizing radiation is exactly same as the SI unit of absorbed dose rate in Gy/s in the ionizing radiation field. The SI unit of both physical quantities can be expressed in $[m^{\cdot}s^{-3}]$. Where, the unit of absorbed dose, Gy stands for Gray. In EM biological interactions, the SAR equations are derived and the characteristics of EM field energy absorption in terms of the SAR are discussed and described on the mathematical basis.

With the progress of the electronics industry and radio communication technology, certain problems, such as electromagnetic interference(EMI), have arisen due to the increased use of electromagnetic(EM) waves. International organizations such as CISPR, FCC, and ANSI have provided the standards for the EM wave environment and for the countermeasure of the electromagnetic compatibility(EMC). EM wave absorbers are used for constructing an anechoic chamber to test and measure EMI and electromagnetic susceptibility(EMS). In this paper, we have designed an one-body EM(electromagnetic) wave ferrite absorber, based on the equivalent material constants method for both normally and obliquely incident waves, whose absorption abilities are superior to that of the conventional ones. The fabricated absorber has a thickness of 27.68 mm and shows an absorption ability over 20 ㏈ in the frequency from 30 MHz to 6 ㎓.

With the rapidly increasing and widespread use of electronic and controlling equipment, the control of the electromagnetic (EM) wave environment becomes an important social issue. To solve the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC, both electromagnetic interface and electromagnetic susceptibility) problems, in this paper, we introduce the countermeasure techniques focused on EM wave absorbers for EMC problems in our laboratory at the Korea Maritime and Ocean University. The current technologies related to EM wave absorbers to solve EMC problems will first be described. The prospects of and a design for EM wave absorbers including a smart absorber with a heat radiating function will then be suggested.

This paper presents an advanced method of simulation for EM(electromagnetic) environment that affects on mobile receivers. A new calibration algorithm in the process of simulation is introduced. With a proposed calibration method, the time required for simulation is reduced and this makes it possible to simulate a near-real time EM environment in a shielded anechoic chamber. EM environment data acquisition and logging techniques with GPS for simulation were developed.

Sometimes, it is more convenient to use paint-type and spray-type EM wave absorbers than bulk-type or sheet-type. Thus, in this paper, we prepared paint-type and spry-type EM wave absorbers. The proportion of ferrites to paints, particle size of magnetic material, and kinds of paint should be considered to prepare a superior paint-type EM wave absorber. There is no big gap between spray-type and paint-type in EM wave absorption of EM wave absorbers prepared with same composition.

We prepared Mn-Zn ferrite Electromagnetic(EM) wave absorbers. The Mn-Zn ferrite EM wave absorbers were coated with Sr ferrite powders and $Al(OH)_3$ powders. The coated Mn-Zn ferrite EM wave absorbers show improved absorption compared with non-coated Mn-Zn EM wave absorbers.

The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) model was developed to analyze electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation in an inhomogeneous ionosphere. The EM analysis of ionosphere is complicated, owing to various propagation environments that are significantly influenced by plasma frequency, cyclotron frequency, and collision frequency. Based on the simple auxiliary differential equation (ADE) technique, we present an accurate FDTD algorithm suitable for the EM analysis of complex phenomena in the ionosphere under arbitrary-direction geomagnetic field. Numerical examples are used to validate our FDTD model in terms of the reflection coefficient of a single magnetized plasma slab. Based on the FDTD formulation developed here, we investigate EM wave propagation characteristics in the ionosphere using realistic ionospheric data for South Korea.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated an electromagnetic(EM) wave absorber for automotive radar in cars using $TiO_2$ as a dielectric material and chlorinated polyethylene(CPE) as a binder. First of all, we confirmed that the optimum composition ratio of $TiO_2$ was about 70 wt.%. The complex relative permittivity of a sample containing $TiO_2$: CPE=70:30 wt.% was calculated from S-parameter. The EM wave absorption abilities were simulated for the EM wave absorbers of different thickness using the calculated relative permittivity, and the EM wave absorber was manufactured based on the simulated design. A comparison of simulated and measured results is in good agreement. Measurement shows that a 1.85 mm thick absorber has absorption ability higher than 20 dB in the frequency range of $76{\sim}77$ GHz for automotive radars.

Generally, a silicone rubber and a chloride polyethylene(CPE) have been used for the development of high-performance composite EM(ElectroMagnetic) wave absorber. In this study, the EM wave absorption abilities for natural lacquer which is newly suggested in this study as a binder for composite EM wave absorber were investigated to develop an improved EM wave absorber In addition, MnZn ferrite composite EM wave absorber mixed with the natural lacquer were prepared and their absorption ability was also investigated. MnZn ferrite composite EM wave absorber which employs the natural lacquer as a binder showed an improved EM wave absorption characteristics in comparison with the conventional binder such as a silicone rubber and a chloride polyethylene(CPE). The matching frequency and the absorption ability of EM wave absorber mixed with natural lacquer can be controled the change of the thickness of them.

High-resolution imaging of electrical conductivity has been the subject of many studies in crosshole tomography using electromagnetic (EM) fields (Zhou et al., 1993; Wilt et al., 1995; Alumbaugh and Morrison, 1995; Newman, 1995; Alumbaugh and Newman, 1997). Although the theoretical understanding and associated field practices for crosshole EM methods are relatively mature, fast and stable imaging of crosshole EM data is still a challenging problem.
